 The Times report Chelsea are ready to hand a fresh deal to their Spanish midfielder, with United eyeing him up as a potential transfer target for next summer.

Fabregas’ existing contract at Stamford Bridge is due to expire in 18 months, when the playmaker will be 32.

The Blues have a policy of only giving one-year contracts to players over the age of 30, and it remains to be seen whether they will adjust that to accommodate a player who is said to be integral to manager Antonio Conte’s plans.

The Times says Conte has assured Fabregas  he remains a key part of the squad at the Bridge, following the summer arrival of Tiemoue Bakayoko from Monaco.
